TAMAN Desa Aman residents in Cheras, Kuala Lumpur, have been granted leave by the High Court to pursue a judicial review against a development order (DO) for an urban renewal project in their neighbourhood. The DO, issued by the Kuala Lumpur mayor, involves construction of two high-rise condominium towers, of 38 and 44 storeys, containing 700 new residential units. Desa Aman Residents Association (Rada) is seeking to quash the DO, contending that it contravenes Kuala Lumpur Structure Plan 2020 (KLSP 2020) and Kuala Lumpur City Plan 2020 (KLCP 2020). “Approving higher density would substantially increase the population density, potentially contributing to traffic congestion. The case management is set for Feb 12 at Kuala Lumpur High Court.
